Shin Megami Tensei is a major intellectual property of the well-known Japanese developer and publisher, Atlus Co., Ltd. The first of many titles in the franchise was released by Atlus in 1992 for the Japanese Super NES and has grown a large and loyal following around the world with additional game titles for consumer consoles and handheld systems. The latest installment brings the brand online.

Originally released in Japan in Q1 2007, Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online was Cave’s first massive multiplayer online (MMO) title for PC. MegaTen has become a huge success with a large fan following. Aeria Games plans on bringing that success to the European and North American markets as it has done with its titles Last Chaos and Shaiya.

Set in a fictional post-apocalyptic Tokyo, survivors attempt to restore the city by defeating demons and solving puzzles. Each player acts as a “Devil Buster.” Success relies on forming an alliance with demons or slaying them.

MegaTen offers numerous unique features:

* Strategic Real-time Fighting System - Choose between attacking, parrying and defending in real time.
* Diverse Weaponry – Use a wide array of weapons from medieval swords to modern-day rifles and handguns.
* Devil Partnership – Players negotiate with devils to assist in battle and missions.
* Devil Fusing – Players can combine multiple devils to create new breeds.
* Private Dungeons – In addition to the public battle areas, players can access private dungeons to hunt and collect items with their friends.

Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online, also called “MegaTen,” will soon be released in the European and North America in four languages: English, French, German and Spanish.

I think that's not very interesting...
 
Tsk tsk those japanise didnt learn anything from the Faust. Guess that explains the post apocalypse setting.
 
I'd only be remotely interested if the prospect of a post-apocalyptic Tokyo would involve eradicating anime from existence once and for all.

Also

Diverse Weaponry – Use a wide array of weapons from medieval swords to modern-day rifles and handguns.

Diverse weaponry in a game was "unique" in the 1970's.

Medieval weapons and modern-day firearms combined in a game have been around for decades as well.

I don't really get the "Unique" tag in their presentation. Maybe a translation error? Real-time melee combat isn't 'unique' either.

The devils thing sounds like a system out of Pokemon, DragonBall or some other tentacled aberration that came out of Japanese pop-culture.

Private Dungeons – In addition to the public battle areas, players can access private dungeons to hunt and collect items with their friends.

Ehehe.
 
I think they mean unique as in no other MMO has that stuff.

Now the real question is...

i youtubed "Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online" and this came up with some other videos of the gameplay. it looks horrible. what is wrong with these japanese people? since EVERYBODY plays games, one would expect they have higher quality standards. man, even WOW looks better than this shit, and thats around 4 years on the market.

screw you, japan! and your flimsy jrpgs, which ALL suck! damn...
 
Anime MMO? Then I do not like it anyway. It also doesn't really looks like postapocaliptic Tokyo.
